You’d hardly expect to see Cate Blanchett ditch her edgy wardrobe for jumpers and elastic-waist pants while pregnant, and the Elizabeth: The Golden Age star is definitely not disappointing. While promoting the film in Australia this week, the star turned up in a beaded colorblock Dries van Noten dress and riding boots to a photocall and was vivid at a premiere in a hot pink and orange Jil Sander dress. We love that Cate’s not afraid to experiment even while expecting her third child. And we can’t wait to see what she wears next — just imagine her maternity gown for the Oscars next February! Tell us: What do you think of Cate’s maternity style?

Roberto Cavalli’s signature animal prints have us ready to pounce on his limited collection for H&M launching this Thursday. Featuring red carpet dresses, ruffled blouses and leopard lingerie for the ladies and tailored suits with cobra cufflinks for the fellas, it’s all about rock glamour. “This collaboration with H&M allows me to give a gift to the young audience that loves what I do, but might not because to own a Roberto Cavalli piece,” says the designer. And he’s right! The 50+ pieces take their inspiration from actual Cavalli pieces that you’ve seen on Beyonce, Jennifer Lopez, and Victoria Beckham — the ultimate look for less. Rihanna, Jessica Alba, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu have already used their star power to purchase items from the collection. Click here to find the H&M store near you.

Angelina Jolie showed she knows a thing or two about keeping warm and elegant in the crisp fall weather at her Beowulf premiere. The gorgeous mom walked the red carpet with Brad Pitt in tow, wearing a cool-weather classic, a camel hair coat.
